Literature
This softly- hued painting is a rare double self-portrait of the artist as man and boy. Signature Siddell touches are evident in the architectural framework of the composition - a brick chimney atop a weatherboard building, corrugated-roofed verandah and gold- leafed signage in the plate-glass window. There is an intriguing sense of calm introspection in this work, but also a quiet confidence as both figures gaze outward from the painting.
